By the way, ninety-nine and eight-tenths of the people who get the virus, recover.
About one to two tenths of one percent who get the virus, die.
Most all of them have other medical problems.
Did you catch that ? Less than 1/2 of a percent die.
Closed businesses = 35,000,000+ instantly unemployed.
Remove entertainment and prohibit Recreation; Closing parks, gyms, bars, restaurants, sports. No dating. No touching. Isolate people. Dehumanize them.
Close Temples and Churches, prohibit worship. Create a vacuum and let depression, anxiety, hopelessness and desperation set in.
There are as of 2020 08 05 4,973,568 discovered cases.
There are 331,192,837 folks in USA. So of discovered cases the number is 1.5%.
There have been 161,601 deaths or 3.2% of discovered cases.
This appears to be a far cry from 0.1%
Of course, if folks would wear masks.......but we North Americans are far to grand for that sort of nonsense.
Of course, 750,000 died in the American civil war over about 4 years. So you might say the virus in 5 months has killed as many as in one year of the civil war.
